>From your amplot, it doesn't seem as if you're network bound, so sending uncompressed data over the wire shouldn't be a problem; otherwise I'd have recommended you try `compress client'. You might still want to compress on either side, client or server, in order to cut down on holding disk usage. In any case, make sure you don't mix hardware and software (client or server) compression. (Unless you have an LTO drive, which does cope nicely with already-compressed data.) This point has been discussed several times already on the list, you'll find all the details in the archives. Alex -- Alexander Jolk / BUF Compagnie tel +33-1 42 68 18 28 / fax +33-1 42 68 18 29
